I was obsessed with it and asked my parents to take me to the Schönbrunn Castle (they did, we lived in Europe).
Watching that old show now it looks so weird 😂

I loved it! I think it’s still on German public TV every year around Christmas.

I have not, but I have down an instagram rabbit hole looking at old pictures of her and Alain Delon.

Watched the first three episodes of the Empress and I’m hooked! I love the costumes and hair.

Yes and this new one is not nearly as good…

I don’t know but it’s well established that Sophie provided her sons with “hygienic” noble ladies from the court…because you can’t marry them off to 16yos and expect them to have their sexual needs met.

I thought that was porn for the emperor’ mother … was she rumored to be bi?!

You can still find it on Amazon Prime video. I loved it as a child.

Nothing - totally off topic. And annoying.

Absolutely stunning in both counts. I’m wondering why they didn’t replicate the famous Sissi hairstyle with stars? That would seem like the obvious choice.

My favorite costume yet is what she wears at the end of the final episode. So gorgeous.

I'm a bit surprised that Elisabeth and Franz don't seem to get along very well, at least in the first three-four episodes.

I don’t know, but it definitely looked like the young girl and Sophie made eye contact during the scene.
